Welcome Iowa Marching Band

District 99 was pleased to host the Hawkeye Marching Band on Carstens Field at North High School for a rehearsal this morning. While the potential for inclement weather precluded the wind players from using instruments, the spirit and ensemble precision of the ensemble was still apparent during their marching rehearsal.

It was great to see students and community members alike in the stands for the open rehearsal this morning. Iowa faces the Huskies from NIU at Soldier Field at 2:30 PM this afternoon. Special thanks to the students and staff from District 99 that volunteered their time this morning to make this hosting event possible.
